Pizza sounds good, but I'm still pretty stuffed from our volunteer luncheon. The two hour + drive into the Adirondacks took me into snow country, several inches worth. Roads were clear, though. Now I'm pooped - 5 hours on the road can be pretty fatiguing.
I did manage to garner a volunteer recognition award and a door prize...
All of our Polar Express trains are SOLD OUT. In fact, due to a bit of a glitch, we may have to add another car to a couple of the runs, as they managed to oversell them. Over 8,000 riders have tickets! We're impressed. Anybody want to be an elf? We need some!

Good late evening everyone. Thanks for the calzone!
It's starting to get cooler and cooler at nights now. We got fog this morning.
Good Sunday morning! Nice and cool here this morning, with a temp in the mid 40s. Glad everyone enjoyed the pizzas, calzones last night. Doesn't look like too many helped themselves to the popcorn. I must have filled you all up with the pizzas, because it doesn't look like any are left this morning.
Coffee just finished brewing, and I've got fresh juices made for this morning. Other beverages available this morning: hot tea and hot chocolate.
On the warmer bar: turkey bacon, sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, country fried ham w/ red-eye gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, blueberry muffins, pancakes, waffles and plenty of maple syrup. Everything will be on the warmer bar until 11:30, when I'll start replacing it with Sunday Dinner.
Sunday Dinner today will consist of: Fried chicken, mashed taters w/milk gravy, green beans, creamed corn, homemade buttermilk biscuits, fried pork chops, country-fried steak w/portabello mushrooms, and if anyone isn't in the mood for green beans, there will also be broccoli and brussels sprouts.
Desserts today: chocolate cake, strawberry cheesecake, and cherry cheesecake, and yellow cake w/caramel icing. Saving pumpkin cake and pumpkin pies for Thursday.
Everyone have a great morning, be careful going to and coming home from Church, or wherever you'll be this morning. Sunday Dinner will be on the warmer bar approx. 1 p.m., EST.
good morning

Good morning everyone. (grabs big mug of hot coffee and a couple of blueberry muffins)
I'm definitely coming back later for the country-fried steak with mushrooms, mashed potatoes with gravy, and green beans.
By the way, when I was doing my morning walk today the fog was pretty intense--I could barely see 35 feet!

My gosh I think I gained 20 pounds reading all that...no brussel sprouts for me though. I can't stand them lol
It's cold here, it's been a long time since I was cold and I forgot how it felt. Now I want to be warm again, in 80 degree heat. ugh, I wonder really how I am going to be once I go back to Flagstaff. I plan on purchasing a camcorder for that trip, and I will get some videos on YouTube for everyone. Hopefully
Until next time

Cool! I saw Rusty at the luncheon Saturday.
4243 is currently dead in the water with a bad main generator.
I rode in the old girl a couple of years ago, but she's been working at Lake Placid, which is a longer ride for me than Thendara.
Good Monday morning! Quentin, Walt is feeling somewhat better. Maybe he'll try to make an appearance later (right now, he's still sleeping). Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
Coffee, juices, tea and hot chocolate are ready. All the normal breakfast items are on the warmer bar, so come one, come all!
Going to need a head count for Thursday. Know Mookie won't be here, and wondering whom else will be missing. I'm going to be cooking all week, so hope it's not going to be totally for nothing! Hoping to have everything done, so I can watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday morning! Always enjoy seeing the jolly old elf appear!!
many moon ago I marched in the macy's parade in nyc.we took amtrak there and back.conrail held us up on the way home.we will be at staceys uncles on turkey day and my sisters on sat.trying to arrange a meeting with a chicken on sat.haven't heard back from him yet.glad walt is feeling better.hope everyone has a safe trip wherever they are going.
From the land of the weird! 72-75 degrees today and snow by Thanksgiving!
Good morning all - Haven't had time to read all past postings, so will do that later this morning. Meanwhile, must do 5 days work in 3 days
Tree - we have a real live elf here in residence. We do a Xmas children's party and we have a slight built strawberry blonde (male) that wears elf ears and the whole costume. He is a little tall for an elf, but otherwise looks exactly the part! I will be glad to send him parcel post to you. He needs a vacation anyway and he will do your graphic arts while he is there. Send back after New Years.
Found my beagle and off we go..... (Mutt are you coming back very soon?)
Mookie

Good morning everyone. (Grabs big mug of hot coffee and a few danishes)
It's supposed to be cold tonight with a low of 37 degrees F. I'm glad central heat in my place works well and I have a hot water air pot for plentiful hot water for hot drinks!
I'll be here for the early Thanksgiving dinner, though.
By the way, this NFL season is threatening to be uncompetitive. What the Patriots did to the Bills last night reminds me of a Top 10 college football team running up the score against a direction school early in the college football season.
Mook, is this soon enough?!
When they say that you have a 48 hour virus, they neglect to tell you that it takes at
least that much time to just start feeling better after it's run it's course, let alone that
much more time to even get back to feeling the way you were before it struck.
Last week was not one of my better ones. (even cut into my train watching!!)
We're to get to about 62 today with a chance of rain, gradually cooling for the rest
of the week, with a chance of snow showers on T-Day.
I'm surprised CW didn't offer to take on that Elf job, she is about the right height.

Lunch is on the warmer bar: leftover fried chicken and mashed taters, etc., from Sunday Dinner, along with some open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters & gravy, creamed corn, broccoli and cole slaw. Desserts: chocolate cake, chocolate pie, and lemon meringue pie.
For supper tonight, I've got a pot of vegetable beef soup on, and think we'll have grilled cheese sandwiches with the soup tonight.
Wow,
Made it all the way to Monday with nothing derailing...
Which means this Monday beats the heck out of last Monday!
I'll have a double shot of whatever is being served....

well the diamond is back at FC and the circus train rolled thru Deshler today.But I was working OT today.anyway Cw thanks for supper tonight.Mutt glad you are back in here.Ed they have a song for you about mondays but i can't write it here.
Ed, Joe, and everybody, soup and grilled cheese sandwiches are on the warmer bar. Sorry about being late, but we were watching Trains & Locomotives. They showed C&O 614 tonight. It was very interesting!!
Joe and Lance, containers are made and in the fridge for you all for work tonight.
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Tom:
....I know Thanksgiving date was changed sometime back in that era....Don't remember just what year. Not sure if it was FDR or Pres. Truman that was involved.
Wondering if that might have had someting to do with the 2 weekends of celebration.....?
Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Cannonball, good to see you made it in last night! And Tom, I know what you're talking about, being a human barometer! My knee has really ached the last week and a half. Supposed to see a high Thursday of 45, with snow flurries and/or snow showers, most of Thanksgiving Day, according to what I've heard this morning. I'm just so very glad I no longer work in retail, and don't have to get out and have to deal with all those crowds Friday morning!!
Coffee has finished brewing, and hot chocolate and hot tea are just about ready. On the warmer bar, you'll find all the regular breakfast/brunch items, including the bagels and bear claws. Even have muffins and cinnamon rolls this morning, too!
Guess it's about time for me to get ready for these idiots (already showing up, one car pulled up out front at 6:10) for PRODUCE TUESDAY.
Question: Do you want Tuesday Mexican Fiesta, or Tuesday Pizza Fest for lunch and supper today?!?! This week, you get to decide!!

Good morning everyone. (Grabs big mug of coffee and a couple of cinnamon rolls)
I'll have a Mexican Fiesta, with burritos and Spanish rice.
I've divided the warmer bar in half: 1/2 still has breakfast on it, for those on the west coast, and the other half has our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta: beef burritos, beef & beans burritos, Spanish rice, enchiladas, quasadillas, chopped lettuce with diced tomatoes, etc., and tortilla chips and sauces are on each table, booth and counter.
Sun is now shining, and we're to get up in the mid to upper 70s this afternoon. Going to be a beautiful day.
